3DS Virtual Console Forum

Hopefully no one read the title and expected them as announced games - If so, terribly sorry D:I know Square Enix hasn't shown any interest in the 3DS VC so far, but is anyone else hoping for them to release some old GBC DQ games?GBC was a good platform for DQ games. Dragon Quest 3 and Dragon Quest Monsters 2:Cobi/Tara were my favourites, but DQ1+2 and DQM were also released on the platform - and one of those is getting a remake for the 3DS. Anyone else hoping for these to be released, or are Dragon Quest fans as rare here as 3DSWare on the eShop? :3

It would be nice but none of the DQ games have been released in this fashion. I think it's equal parts brand protection(they can sell expensive collections) and artistic integrity. I think they prefer to update and revise the past games.

I made Kid Tripp! PocketGamer gave it a 9 out of 10! You should totally buy it now!

[16:41] kribs: don't worry Emmy, even if poix tried to steal something from you, he wouldn't finish stealing it

I cant wait for it either - but I would have much prefered the sequel to be the one remade. I prefered the story, using keys as opposed to gates, exploring lots of random worlds, not automatically getting every boss you fight to join you, and how it used fresh characters.

Well, they didn't make very many games on GB/GBC combined.Square only four games, all released in English with the Final Fantasy name slapped on.Enix made DQ1+2, DQ3, DQ Monsters, 2 versions of DQ Monsters 2. And that's all they could release on VC.(and only two more they could release in Japan, possibly: Dungeon Land and Star Ocean: Blue Sphere. And 3 license games: Nangoku Shonen Papuwa-kun, Mahoujin Guruguru and Command Master.)

Perhaps - but other developers have added or started adding their collections despite only releasing a few. Besides, the games would be popular none the less. Releasing all of the games you mentioned would already get most of them to the top of the current VC scale.

Oh wow, so they are. Since only a couple years ago, too.I think Enix USA was still getting up and running under Paul Handelman, so they licensed out DQM to Eidos.Once Enix USA was properly set up with a working staff Enix Japan gave them the localizing & publishing reins for North America.
